Seeing is Believing! The Extreme Ice Survey of James Balog and Global Climate Change

Seeing IS Believing: James Balog's time-lapse photography reveals how quickly glaciers are melting around the world.

On April 2nd, James Balog's Extreme Ice Survey, an unprecedented experiment in time-lapse photography, will open the third year of First Friday video discussions on sustainability and the environment at The Environmental Home Store in Doylestown.

According to Balog, "Ice is the canary in the global coal mine". Although current scientific models project a one-meter sea-level rise in this century, how do you figure out what is going on inside a gigantic wall of ice? Sponsored by National Geographic, acclaimed photographer James Balog did a three-year survey of key places in the frozen parts of the planet.

Using time-lapse photography with cameras installed in risky, remote locations around the world, Balog recorded a stunning documentary. What’s really going on where rising global temperatures are highest, and thermometers are lowest?

The discussion will be moderated by Larry Menkes, ECLA PA's environmental writer and coordinator.

The event is FREE to the public. Seating is limited. RSVP is suggested. Call 267.880.6791.
